Predictive maintenance for livestock farms
How can a farm keep its ventilation fans, feed lines and pumps running?
DHMSCare monitors ventilation fans, feed conveyor drives, pumps and climate-control equipment.
Low-power wireless vibration and temperature sensors sit on each machine.
They watch the motors, bearings and drive systems.
A farm typically needs about 20–50 sensors.
Its industrial AI agent detects early bearing wear and motor anomalies.
It tells your team what to service, and when.
Industry challenges
Ventilation fans, feed lines and pumps are spread across many houses. Manual rounds take a long time, leave blind spots and find early faults late.
Most farms only monitor temperature. Early signs of bearing wear and motor degradation are missed until the machine fails.
Farms are often in remote locations, with few skilled maintenance staff on hand. The response to a fault is slow as a result.
Time-based maintenance has no data behind it. Some machines are over-maintained while others are missed, and reliability suffers.
Quantifiable value
Monitoring solution
DHMSCare places sensors on the motors and bearings of ventilation fans, feed conveyor drives, pumps and climate-control equipment.
The sensors are wireless, low-power and IP69 rated, and they send data to the cloud through a gateway, with DMG311 (4G) on farms without Wi-Fi.
From the day of installation, DHMSCare monitors every machine in real time and gives maintenance recommendations, with no months-long learning period.
Platform
DHMSCare uses AI to identify early fault signs such as gear wear and bearing anomalies, assess equipment health and provide maintenance recommendations.
Recommended measuring points and plan
What a typical production line needs, so you can see the whole plan before we talk.
| Asset | Suggested sensors | Measuring points (bearing seats) |
|---|---|---|
| Ventilation fan | 2 | Fan motor DE and NDE, fan shaft bearings on belt-driven fans |
| Feed conveyor drive | 3 | Drive motor DE and NDE, gearbox output |
| Pump | 3 | Motor DE and NDE, pump bearing |
| Climate-control equipment | 2 | Motor and fan bearing seats |
| Gateway | DMG310 | DMG311 (4G) where there is no Wi-Fi |
| Per farm | approx. 20–50 |

Start with one line
The smallest sensible start, then grow line by line or roll out plant-wide.
Watch the machines you can least afford to stop.
You learn about faults days ahead.
All your lines, all sites, on one dashboard.
Tailored to your project's requirements.
Runs on your own servers or private cloud.
Contracted and delivered as a project.
Which equipment on a pig or poultry farm is worth monitoring, such as ventilation fans and feed lines?
DHMSCare monitors ventilation fans and the feed line: at a leading pig producer’s feed mills it watches grinders, pellet mills, mixers and scraper conveyors. Fans and blowers are on the supported equipment list. Remote sites can uplink over 4G with the DMG311.
Questions
We are a small or mid-sized company. Is this for us?
Yes. Start with one line and one gateway, subscribe per sensor per year, and begin on AI Care; Care if you only need condition monitoring.
How long does a one-line pilot take?
Installation follows the seven steps in our quick installation guide: create the equipment, mount the gateway, attach the sensors and bind the measuring points. We agree the pilot period with you by line size.
We have no vibration engineer. Can we still use it?
Yes. The AI identifies early fault signs, assesses equipment health and gives maintenance recommendations, and Mina tells you which machine to handle first and why.
We already measure temperature. Why add vibration?
Temperature alone misses the early signs of bearing wear and motor degradation. DHMSCare’s sensors measure vibration and temperature together, so the AI flags those faults while they are still small.
How many sensors does a farm need?
About 20–50 per farm, depending on the number of fans, feed lines and pumps. We size the count with you, house by house.
Our farm is remote and has no Wi-Fi. Will it work?
Yes. The DMG311 gateway connects over 4G or Ethernet, and the sensors are designed for low power consumption and demanding farm environments.

How Muyuan keeps its feed mills running
Muyuan Foodstuff Co., Ltd. makes its own feed, and one stop on a feed line can cut supply to many of its farms. DHMSCare monitors the hammer mills and pellet mills in its feed production with wireless vibration and temperature sensors. It catches early signs of faults such as bearing wear and rotor imbalance, when a rotating part's weight is unevenly spread, so the team can plan maintenance before a machine stops the line.
- Cut unplanned downtime by 30–40%
- Cut maintenance costs by 20–30%
- Extend machine life by 15–20%
